Rector's Reflections
|
Who Would Jesus Bless Today?
Many Bibles include a heading before the latter part of today's gospel reading (Mark 10:13-16) that says something like "Blessing the Children" or "Jesus Welcomes the Children." In reading such a heading, we might begin to imagine a sentimental scene in which Jesus is surrounded by cute, adorable children. When we think about children being blessed in our churches today, we might imagine children gathering around the altar or at the front of the worship space for a children's time, in which the pastor or worship leader would say a prayer with them and give them a blessing. The parents and others may also be gathered just behind the children, smiling in adoration of these young ones.
However, we cannot view the scene from Mark's gospel with only our modern understanding of the role and place of children in society. The life of many children in North America is one of relative privilege, with carefree days in which they often experience the care and love of grown-ups. Jesus, by bringing the children to him, identifies himself with those who were among the most vulnerable and helpless in society. In ancient times, children often were treated like property. They had few protections from those who would treat them badly. But Jesus came into the world for ones such as these children. Who, in our communities, is in the place of the children of ancient times? As Christ's church, do we provide a place of welcome and care for the most vulnerable and weak in our society? [Sundays and Seasons, 2018]
This Sunday's gospel reading includes both stern words about divorce and gracious words about little children. Come to worship to hear both law and gospel, both God's call to the ethical life and God's welcome of all of us who cannot fully obey.
Blessing together,
Bill+

Blessing of the Animals Oct. 7th
|
Francis of Assisi, renewer of the church, died 1226 is remembered every October 4th and at all Saints we bless the animals on the Sunday closest to his commemoration. St. Francis was born into the family of a wealthy merchant and gave up his inheritance to serve poor people. He formed the Order of Friars Minor (called Franciscans), who took on poverty and the task of preaching "using words if necessary." Francis had a spirit of gratitude for all of God's creation.
Blessings of the animals at both 8:00 and 10:00 am worship services. Bring your pets (or a picture of them) to give God thanks for the blessing they are in your life.

Caregivers Want Ad
|
Caregivers of the Southern Carroll County and Vicinity, Inc.
HELP (volunteer out of the goodness of your heart, non-paying)
WANTED:
Mission of interfaith volunteer coalition: Caregivers of the Southern Carroll County and Vicinity, Inc. offers short-term, non-emergency volunteer services to transport clients to local and out-of-town medical appointments. All clients must have the ability to walk without the aid of another person.
Job description: Drive clients to and from medical appointments.
Qualifications: For this position the following experience, equipment, or attributes are a requirement: Compassion, experienced licensed driver, possession of a working vehicle, and a little time on your hands.
Drivers may choose what days and times they are available, and they may choose whether to serve with local or out-of-town driving assignments. The transportation is provided without charge to members of the communities of Alton, Ossipee, Tuftonboro, and Wolfeboro to enable them to remain in their own homes as long as possible.
Job description: Coordinate clients who call because they need transportation for a medical appointment with volunteers willing to transport then.
Qualifications: For this position the following experience, equipment, or attributes are a requirement: Must have a working phone, a computer, and a willingness to work from the comfort of home.
Another option for serving this non-profit organization is principally being on phone duty to be the link between clients who need transportation and the drivers. A monthly schedule for volunteers who coordinate transportation needs of each client with the drivers divides each week day into two four-hour segments of phone duty. For the convenience of each person on duty the caregivers phone number is switched over to the phone of the coordinator. Therefore, if you happen to be on duty to receive calls from those who need a lift to arrive at a medical appointment the job can be achieved without ever leaving home.
Job description: Place information regarding the documentation of drivers license and proof of auto insurance for each of the volunteer drivers as required by federal government in a dedicated data base.
This information is computerized and as the renewal date for each drivers license and auto insurance nears the computer prompts me to send out a request to each driver to forward to Caregivers proof of drivers license and insurance renewal. When the renewals are received either by U.S. mail or through email they are physically posted to the Caregiver records and the new information is entered into the computer, prompting the initiation of new renewal dates. The posting of this data is updated at the point when new volunteer drivers join Caregivers and when they leave the information for them is deleted from the data base.
Qualifications: For this position the following experience, equipment, or attributes are a requirement: Must have a working phone, computer, and the ability to enter all required information into a data base.
If you are interested in finding out more information or signing up as a volunteer please call (603) 569-6780.

"Capturing the Depth of the Psalms"
|
Thursdays at 3:00 pm in the Beck Memorial Library
Live under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful. Then you will say to the
Lord, "You are my fortress, my place of safety; you are my God, and I trust you." The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps and deadly diseases. He will spread his wings over you and keep you secure. His faithfulness is like a shield or a city wall. Psalm 91
We will explore the spirituality of the Psalms and how they relate to th
e seasons of our lives. We will use Walter Brueggemann's model of orientation-disorientation-new orientation, that explores how the genres of the Psalms can be viewed in terms of their function. Join us as we hear anew these readings of ancient songs that illumine our human condition and spiritual longing in all their bold realism.
